@msquebanh. The turtle has serious skateboard skills and the cat just isn’t that impressed.

@msquebanh. The garden is looking great. You and your family will eat well and trade with the neighbors.

@msquebanh. Is the Borage on the ornamental or edible list?

It's a good day to head out & pick-up a few bags of free llama poop! Excellent for our composting/gardening purposes 👩‍🌾

@msquebanh. Llama poop compost is supposed to be extra wonderful. I am not an expert. What a pick up. , .

@msquebanh. Again, you have a great neighborhood with parks and llamas.

Walking through & wetland marshes are to the right. Small to stroll. Still some purple out.

En route home & will be uploading more photos, shortly. We had the whole park to ourselves - only wildlife sharing spaces today 😊

@msquebanh. The park has a lot to offer, like purple camas in the wild. , .

@msquebanh. Family walks are the greatest.

Some nice observations of #butterflies during an excursion to Orange County today. “Vanilla” species.

This Tiger Swallowtail dances around what appears to be Lantana blossoms.

@CWilbur The photo of the gray hairstreak on white sage is very nice. #pollinators.

@CWilbur. The hedgerow hairstreak is looking sharp. The west coast historically had great butterfly habitat. #pollinators, #minnesota, #growyourown.

@msquebanh. We have the version of the Midwest, a lavender and purple pasque flower. They have been moving around the gardens by themselves. We have balance with them in 2024.

"Kirk argued in the 1950s that if the American middle class — then under half of Americans — ever grew too large and well paid, then such access to “wealth” would produce a social disaster. His followers warned that under such circumstances minorities would forget their “place” in society, women would demand equality with men, and young people would no longer respect their elders.”

@msquebanh. Hello PNW. We haven’t eaten the hostas yet. I will look at them differently now. We have volunteer lettuce ready to harvest. This will be the next meal. The hostas will wait. #growyourown.

@msquebanh. You have an origin story for your super hero alter ego graphic novel. I can review the story for continuity issues first free.

@msquebanh. It’s unanimous.

The bluebirds in the nest box in our yard have fledged! Here, Papa Bluebird feeds a baby that's bigger than him. The baby pushes him around quite a bit, trying to get more food. #birds #birding #birdsofmastodon #birdphotography #fledgling #bluebird #nature #HoosierMast

Adult male bluebird on the right has his beak (with the food) deep in the baby bluebird's mouth.
Baby bluebird (on the left) pushes the adult bluebird, trying to get every last crumb of food in the transfer. You can see that the only blue is on the fledgling is on the tips of the wing feathers and the rest of the body is covered with mottled white and dark brown feathers.
Baby finally lets the adult go and it flew away almost immediately.

@carpingdiem. It is good to have successful fledglings. They are starving.

Pollinators,
@Pollinators@epicure.social avatar

@carpingdiem. Do the bluebirds take meal worms from feeders?

@nightdream. Are you interested in losing the label of “world’s worst composter?”

@nightdream #compostodon is available on Mastodon. The free advice is free and the response times vary.

#compostodon, any experience or hints using coffee grounds in compost?

@colhill. Coffee grounds are treasure. Our red wriggler worm farm gets the coffee grounds. Get more from friends and neighbors. #Vermiculture, #compost.

The poly tunnel … and so it begins- empty beds and tiny plants will transform over the next couple of months all being well. #gardening #GrowYourOwn #vegtables @gardening

@ScotHomestead @gardening. The garden vegetable starts are looking to get in the garden soil here too. We’ve had a stretch of wet weather and that is great for the planet. It’s been too wet for proper planting. The soil has been a sticky mess when compacted around the starts. , , .
